Crafty don't need the adapter. Download it from chessbase and unzip directly inot your engine folder. From chessbase; http://www.chessbase.com THE WINBOARD ENGINE ADAPTER Winboard engines currently tested and running fine: Arasan GNUChess (download ready setup) Gromit 2.0 by Frank Schneider (download ready setup) Little Goliath Olithink SSEChess The Crazy Bishop by RĂ©mi Coulom (download ready setup) Tristram Download the Winboard adapter (Version Dec 7, 1998). Instructions for ChessBase 7.0 and Fritz5.32: Copy the file Winboard.eng into your Engines folder. Rename it to the chess program's original name + ".eng", e.g. Tristram.eng. Create a folder with the chess program's original name in the Engines folder, e.g. Engines\Tristram. Copy the chess program's exe and its auxiliary files into this folder. Create a file Tristram.init to send the correct command line (ready-made .init files for all engines available here soon, see GNUchess example). Now "Tristram" will show up in your engines list Thanks.
